Is there a C ++ function to shut down a computer?

Question

Is there a C ++ function to shut down a computer? And since I doubt that there is one (in the standard library, at least), what is the windows function that I can call from C ++?

Basically, what is the code to shut down a Windows XP computer in C ++?
